Pies for One
August 28, 2017
An Iowa State tradition whipped up in a favorite mug. Not a fan of cherry? Swap them out with blueberries or peaches.
Cherry Pie in a Mug
Servings: 1
1 1/2 cups frozen, unsweetened, pitted, dark sweet cherries, thawed (not drained)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon granulated white sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash of salt
1 low-fat honey graham cracker
2 tablespoons fat-free Reddi-Whip
Place thawed cherries in a large microwave-safe mug. Add cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir.
Microwave for four minutes, or until thickened.
Let cool, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle with graham cracker and top with Reddi-Whip.

The next two recipes are the same as the one above, except substitute blueberries and peaches for cherries. Don’t have Reddi-Whip? Try it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
